First, draw two parallel lines:

Next, draw to additional lines of the same length that connect both parallel lines:

Notice that this can be done in two different ways. In the case in red, both lines are not parallel. In the case shown in blue, they are. Since the problem asks for the case when they are not parallel, keep in mind the figure with the lines in red. That figure is a trapezoid.
